When Do Gossip Algorithms Converge in Finite Time?
In this paper, we study finite-time convergence of gossip algorithms. We show that there exists a symmetric gossip algorithm that converges in finite time if and only if the number of network nodes is a power of two, while there always exists a globally finite-time convergent gossip algorithm despite the number of nodes if asymmetric gossiping is allowed. For n = 2 nodes, we prove that a fastes...
متن کاملWhen astronomy, biology, and culture converge: children's conceptions about birthdays.
The authors investigated the development of children's understanding of birthdays using structured interviews of 102 Israeli children aged 4 to 9 years. To fully comprehend the concept of birthday, children must grasp the relationship between the social occasion (the birthday party), irreversible biological growth, and the cyclical nature of the calendar. The authors' findings affirmed that a c...
متن کاملWhen Psychology and Technology Converge. The Case of Spatial Cognition
The behaviors of spatial orientation that an organism displays result from its capacity for adapting, knowing, and modifying its environment; expressed in one word, spatial orientation behaviors result from its psychology. These behaviors can be extremely simple (consider, for example, obstacle avoidance, tropisms, taxis, or random walks) but extremely sophisticated as well: consider for exampl...
متن کاملCardiovascular consequences when nitric oxide and lipid signaling converge.
The identification of nitric oxide ((*)NO) as an endogenously produced free radical mediator of endothelial-dependent relaxation and host defense has fundamentally changed concepts of cell signal transduction. Ligand-receptor oriented paradigms of cell signaling were originally centered on the concept of a high affinity and specific interaction between a ligand and its receptor, resulting in th...
متن کاملWhen it rains, it pours: future climate extremes and health.
BACKGROUND The accelerating accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere is changing global environmental conditions in unprecedented and potentially irreversible ways. Climate change poses a host of challenges to the health of populations through complex direct and indirect mechanisms. The direct effects include an increased frequency of heat waves, rising sea levels that threate...
